ROCKFORD — You have until late Wednesday to vote on Facebook to win $10,000 for a Rockford agency that serves children who have been sexually or severely physically abused.

Vote at tinyurl.com/n847v2p or carrielynnsclubblue.org before midnight to benefit Carrie Lynn Children's Center. Ten $10,000 grants are being awarded by Jewelers for Children; the Carrie Lynn Center was nominated by Gruno's Diamonds of Rockford. Gruno's is a contributor to Club Blue, an annual party organized by volunteers that last year netted the Carrie Lynn Center $160,000. It is the major fundraiser for the center.

At last count, the Carrie Lynn Center was in 12th place in voting. Bridget Finn, marketing chairwoman for Club Blue, said supporters can vote once from each computer, smartphone and tablet, although she said some have been able to cast more than one vote from each device.

"If we are to receive this money, it would make a huge difference," said Kathy Pomahac, executive director of the center. The money would be used for prevention and counseling services and well as training, Pomahac said. The center receives about 600 referrals for children a year. Its annual budget is about $550,000. The agency serves children in Winnebago and Boone counties.

The next Club Blue will be April 4 at a location that is disclosed shortly before the event.
